Specifies that the report of complaints alleging significant non-conformity or deficient method shall include the nature and extent of the non-conformity or deficient method alleged and whether any corrective actions were or will be implemented to address the alleged non-conformity or deficient method.

AI Summary
This bill requires all state and local publicly funded forensic laboratories that are accredited under ISO 17025, a standard for testing and calibration laboratories, to report any complaints they receive alleging significant problems with how they deliver forensic services or practice forensic science. These reports must be submitted to the Illinois Forensic Science Commission within 30 days of the lab becoming aware of the issue. The reports need to detail the nature and extent of the alleged problem and any steps taken or planned to fix it. Additionally, the bill mandates that the annual reports these laboratories already submit to the Commission must now include all such complaints that were reported under this new provision, ensuring a comprehensive overview of any significant issues.
